crotalidian:...Is this actually a real thing that is happening?Wales is worse than Canada, they are self governed with their own budget and funds but also get tax money from England (we dont see any of theirs). and they have representatives on our parlaiment to help decide how we spend our money but English members cannot sit on the Welsh parliament (to decide how they spend our money).

I am so glad to have moved to the US. with all its problems at least we doint have to deal with this idiotic system. /rant

1)scotland is worse than wales (we atleast have our own language)2)all out tax goes to where? downing street exactly your moaning about us when the fact is england is the biggest leech on the planet3)the assembely government can barley decide jack beacause downing street has al the power+ why would you want to sit on our goverment?4)its this sort of narowminded cach that the english come up with which reinforces the stereotype of ENGLISH/counterrant

but yeah i found the strip a good laugh at the inside jokeslike when americans take the piss out of canada you wont get it unless you already do

Swaki:i had to google union jack, i thought he was talking about the comic, which sounded awesome.

but i get it, it would be like someone putting the horrible colours of *sweden* into my beloved dannebrog.

Not really, Dannebrog getting the colours of Sweden would be like the Union Jack mixing with the French flag.

...so the exact same colour scheme?.

i know it wouldent be the exact same, but since sweden and norway are our only "rivals" (as much as we love each other in Scandinavia we still hate other Scandinavians, Swedes being drunks and Norwegians being mountain monkeys :P) and since we all have the same basic flag it was the best example i could think of.

England's relationship with Wales, is less like the U.S. & Canada and more like the internal relationship of the Northern and Southern states. Even that doesn't seem a good comparison, since Wales and Scotland have been joined in the act of union for centuries and before that were subjugated for long largely unbroken periods of time.

No-one is seriously pushing for the dragon on the flag. Even those that are trying to carve out a national identity through small things like bringing back the Welsh language (practically a dead language at one point) don't usually go that far.

Also it should be pointed out Cornwall has been playing around with the idea of independence for centuries too...

That did give me a good chuckle :'3, I have a few Welsh friends and even they like mocking the Welsh, our ability to not give a shit about making even ourselves look like dicks is one of my favourite things about being English.

When first referred to as 'sheep molesters,' I was about to subtly walk away. I reward you 586/10 pts, however, with the ever so rich burn on Canada. The burn would have been epic, but all of the ice up there pretty much makes it pointless.
